So to those that fly VFR a lot, how often are you using VORs as backup? I know when I rent I am usually in mostly familiar areas so I am content to use the GPS for direct to courses and not bother with the VOR. Is it worth the extra few grand to have working VOR for someone who will fly strictly VFR? Aren't they phasing it out anyhow? My mission will be fun flying mixed with some longer cross country flights..so I was almost thinking a second GPS with an aviation database might be more useful..ie a 250Xl with a 495..or something along those lines.
